So, I have been playing World of Warships since closed beta, but only recently started having issues with in-game features such as the Premium Shop, Armory and Dockyard not opening and freezing up the game when I try to access them. It has gotten so bad that I decided to uninstall the Wargaming.net client and all the Wargaming games I have (World of Tanks, World of Warships and World of Warplanes) and try to install through Steam to see if this fixes any of those issues. However, I just found out that you CANNOT use your existing Wargaming.net account through the Steam version so, ALL those years of playing and earnings are inaccessible via Steam because Steam forces you to create a BRAND NEW account in order to play. So, I'm now back to Square 1: reinstalling the Wargaming.net client to play on my main account. Honestly, in 2022, this SHOULD NOT be a thing. It's NOT difficult to work out the intricacies of linking accounts across platforms. Microsoft has done it, Sony has done it, in fact MOST other game developers have done it. It's ridiculous that Steam can't seem to get that right. So, good bye to Steam's version of World of (insert game name here). EXTREMELY disappointing. :(
